Posted November 18, 2013 - 15:15

The authors suggest that potential conflicts can be managed through written agreements between investigators and community partners at the beginning of a study, sometimes with the help of a third party. In certain situations, it may even be useful to publish a dissenting opinion when researchers and community partners cannot agree on an interpretation of findings.
